Chapter 703 No Right to Choose
Perhaps that was the case at first, but after getting to know her better, he discovered that she had far more shining qualities than Wen Qingyi!
Therefore, his attitude gradually changed from initially using the product to genuinely appreciating it.
The utilitarian mindset of the past is gone.
Sang Ruo gazed at him quietly: "I didn't misunderstand you. I was just analyzing your intentions in deliberately approaching me. If I have offended you, then I apologize."
She had witnessed how Wen Qingyi and Gong Lian got together and then broke up.
The deep affection Gong Lian had for Wen Qingyi when they were together was absolutely genuine. As for whether he truly no longer loved Wen Qingyi, or whether he was deliberately trying to forget and hide it...
She had no idea.
"You don't need to apologize to me, I'm the one who should apologize." Gong Lian didn't expect Wen Qingyi to follow him: "If I hadn't failed to take proper security measures, Wen Qingyi wouldn't have had the chance to make such a scene here. I'm sorry."
He only intended to invite her for afternoon tea, but who would have thought that Wen Qingyi would suddenly come over and throw a tantrum?
But this is for the best. Now that she knows, he doesn't need to keep hiding it from her anymore.
That's a good thing, too.
Upon hearing this, Sang Ruo smiled faintly: "You don't need to apologize to me. I just feel that perhaps the relationship between you and Wen Qingyi has not been completely over yet."
Judging from Wen Qingyi's breakdown just now, she must be unwilling and unable to give up the opportunity to be with Gong Lian.
After all, she and Gong Lian were already engaged and had a marriage contract, so they were no longer in the same carefree state where they could break up whenever they wanted.
Moreover, Gong Lian is Wen Qingyi's strongest support. Without Gong Lian, would Wen Qingyi still be the same Wen Qingyi?
Therefore, Wen Qingyi will absolutely not let go.
"What do you mean by that?" Gong Lian sensed the hidden meaning in her words, and a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes. "Do you also think that I still can't forget Wen Qingyi? Sang Ruo, you haven't listened to that scoundrel Wen Qingyi's slanderous words, have you?"
Is that why she has such a deep misunderstanding of him?
He has confessed his feelings to her so many times, doesn't she still believe in his sincerity?
Sang Ruo shook her head and couldn't help but smile: "No, what she just said proves that everything you said is true. Moreover, she won't let go of you easily. I'm afraid that even I will be dragged into the whirlpool of your relationship in the future."
After Wen Qingyi's unexpected discovery, coupled with Gong Lian's admission of loving her, Wen Qingyi will likely hate her even more in the future.
She believed that she had stolen everything that should have belonged to Wen Qingyi, and that she had deliberately taken away the last trump card in her hand.
"Don't worry, I won't let her bully you. I will protect you and won't let you get hurt in any way." This was Gong Lian's promise to her, and it also showed his most sincere and passionate heart for her: "As for Wen Qingyi, I'll handle it."
Sang Ruoke didn't believe him. After exchanging pleasantries, she lost her appetite for afternoon tea, said goodbye, and went home.
Today I was forced to watch a good show. I never expected that Wen Qingyi cared about Gong Lian much more than I thought.
After watching her leave, Gong Lian drove back to the Gong family villa. As soon as he entered, he asked the housekeeper, "Housekeeper, where is Miss Wen?"
“She ran back to her room and cried for a long time. I still don’t know what happened to her.”
The housekeeper only knew that when she returned, she was in tears, running back in tears.
Then she locked herself in her room and cried, not knowing what had happened.
Upon hearing this, Gong Lian went straight to the second bedroom where Wen Qingyi was and pushed open the door: "Wen Qingyi, what exactly do you mean? Who gave you permission to follow me?!"
She even went so far as to ruin his date with Sang Ruo.
Did she know how difficult it was for him to get Sang Ruo to come out? He finally managed to persuade Sang Ruo to agree to meet him, and then she ruined it all!
"What, you're allowed to stalk others, but others aren't allowed to stalk you?" Wen Qingyi's face was still wet with tears as she choked out, "Gong Lian, I don't know why you fell in love with Sang Ruo, and I don't know what your initial purpose was in approaching her."
"But now, I'm giving you one last piece of advice: cut off all contact with her as soon as possible. That way, I can still give you a chance to turn back before things go wrong."
Don't force her to go back to the Wen family and file a lawsuit against her parents.
That would expose his affair, and he would lose face.
As long as he is willing to break things off with Sang Ruo, they can still reconcile and start over.
But now, it is Gong Lian who is unwilling.
"Turning back is the right path?" Upon noticing this phrase, Gong Lian couldn't help but sneer: "Wen Qingyi, aren't you overestimating yourself? Do you think that just because you're the eldest daughter of the Wen family, you can order me around and command me to do anything?"
"Let me tell you, our relationship has never been something you can decide!"
"Don't forget, throughout this entire relationship, I was the one in control! Not you! You never had a choice!"
She actually started acting like the eldest daughter of the Wen family in front of him!
What a joke.
If her identity as the eldest daughter of the Wen family were truly useful, she wouldn't have been tortured to the point of wishing for death by Bo Jinyan, and in the end, she was only able to survive thanks to his help!
Upon hearing this, Wen Qingyi couldn't even cry anymore: "Gong Lian, how could you say such heartless things! Have you forgotten how you used to follow me around and pursue me so desperately?"
"I only accepted you out of pity, and you still dare to betray me? Is this your love for me? Is this the affection you've been claiming to have for so many years, this self-righteous and pretentious devotion?"
Sure enough, a man like him only cares about what he can't have. Once he gets it, he discards it like trash and won't even give you a second thought!
What a fickle, unfaithful man!
She truly hated herself for being so blind as to ask him for help. If she hadn't made that wrong step, could they still have maintained their previous relationship?
Back then, he chased after her every day, cherished her, and followed her around almost every step of the way.
But now, things have changed.
"So you really did tell me the truth, pity me? Do I need your pity?" Gong Lian's eyes reddened at her words: "Have you forgotten that when you were driven to the brink by Bo Jinyan, it was me who stepped in to help you?!"
"If I weren't behind you, do you think you could even beat Bo Jinyan with a single finger?!"
